Top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci re-emerged from a lengthy absence from national media on Thursday, appearing on CNN’s coronavirus town hall to mark his first major television interview since May 4.

While Fauci has recently been on a “modified quarantine” due to possible exposure to White House staffers infected with COVID-19, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases chief has continued to participate in the White House coronavirus task force and testified before the Senate last week via remote.

Fauci, who has been targeted by pro-Trump figures after appearing to contradict some of the president’s comments on the virus, has been conspicuously absent from TV as the White House pushes for a robust reopening of the economy, as CNN’s Oliver Darcy reported earlier this week. Other public health experts on the task force, such as Dr. Deborah Birx, have also been noticeably absent.

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper immediately greeted Dr. Fauci on Thursday night by asking why we haven’t heard more from the task force and medical experts in recent weeks.

Big deal, three staffers with the disease, big deal, no masks--
The careless sociopathy of Trump-- "I'm supposed to wear a mask to protect my colleagues? No, they can protect ME!"

Fauci is at higher risk, as he would know, and his spouse too if he's married....

I wish I believed in hell, as then I could happily contemplate Trump burning in the fires eternal.
